Chop chop chop...

Cutting noises can be heard. Shina's aunty, Kigiyaru Hena, is cooking this morning. She's cooking omelette and some salads. She puts them in to a bento box then puts them on the table. She takes off her apron and starts to prepare for her work. Hena opens Shina's room door and reveals a sleeping girl, covers with big blanket. Her alarm has been beeping since 5 minutes ago.

"Shina... Wake up. You have to go to school."

Shina only hums to responds to her aunt. Hena sighs, reacting to her niece. She smiles once more to her.

"I already made you a bento, it's on the table"

Hena starts to close the door slowly and then stops and opens it again,

"oh and one more thing, I'll be late today, so cook your own food or go buy some okay?"

Hena is waiting her niece answer, patiently.

"Hai..."

"itte ki-masu!"

"Itte rashai..."

Hena smiles at the respon then closes the door. She goes to her work with her car.

Meanwhile, Shina is still on her bed laying there, looking at the ceiling and then turns off her alarm. She decides to get ready for school. She takes a bath, brushes her teeth, wears her uniform, ties her bow, takes her bag, and wears her shoes. When she's about to leave she remembers the bento her aunt made for her. She goes to the kitchen and put the bento inside her bag.

"arigatou... and itte ki-masu.. "

She rides her bicycle to her school. When she's about to cross the crosswalk, there's her friend, Hashika Reina.

"Ohayou!"

Reina greets her with a big bright smile.

"Ohayo..."

Shina just lazily smiles a bit. They ride their bicycle together to school.

Shina and Reina park their bicycle at the parking lot at school and then walk inside the school together. There are already few people or many people inside the building. Some students are talking, playing, hanging around, and more. When Shina reaches her class she walks to her chair and Reina is in front of her. Shina sits on back left corner near the window. She always thinks it is the best spot she can ever has.

"Ne Shina..."

Reina turns around to see Shina. She's reading her novel but she looks at Reina, tilting her head to look that she's curious but actually no.

"What?..."

Reina sighs and closes her eyes. She puts her chin on her right palm.

"I overheard there's a new student transferring..."

"Hmm..."

"It's a boy"

"Hmm..."

Reina starts to frown and pouts while looking at Shina. She takes her book then closes it.

"SHI.NA."

Reina yelled a bit to Shina to get her attention.

"What?"

Shina looks at Reina, frowns her back and then takes her book back and puts it inside her locker beneath her desk. She puts her head between her arms, burying them inside.

"Can you at least try to look curious?"

"I don't think that's necessary-"

"IT IS!"

Reina glares at her for a while but gives up knowing her friend is not curious even a little atom. She exhales deeply. Right after that, the bell rings and all the students sit on their own sit and waits for teacher to come. Some students are still talking and laughing, but then, the sounds of class door opens can be hear and reveal a teacher, Shiroku Morito. He walks inside with some books with him. All the students become quite.

"Okay everyone, I want you to meet our new student. Please come in..."

The teacher looks at the door followed by the students. Shina didn't mind to look at it or other words she doesn't care at all. She's just doodling some things. The new student comes in, closes the door, and stands next to the teacher.

"Shina.. Shinaaa..."

Reina whispers to Shina to get her attention. When she does, she points to the new student. Shina squints her eyes first and then it gets widen. Her mouth is opens a bit to say something.

"Ohayo everyone, my name is-"

"Shitoga Ryouto"

"Shitoga Ryouto"

Shina said his name quietly, but surprisingly said it at the same time when the boy said his name. Reina looks at her confuse at first but then to the new boy and then to Shina again.

"You know him?"

Reina asked but only got a head shake from Shina. Shina continues to doodles more.

"I've just met him yesterday... but he only told me his name... nothing else"

Reina looks at her once again and then starts to smiles. She moves her body to face forward.

"Well... isn't that unlucky... He's cute though"

"Sure sure..."

Reina just giggles and start to focus on Shiroku-sensei.

"Uhmm... you can sit at... ah! Next to Miyagaru-san"

This makes Shina snaps out and looks at her teacher with please-don't face, but he just stares and Ryouto is looking at her with sparkles eyes. He walks to where the teacher told him to and sits there. He puts his bag on the side and then looks at Shina with a smile. She looks at him with an unbelievable face.

The class starts and all the students are studying. Maybe.

After few hours, the break bell finally rings. The teacher dismisses himself and walks out the class. Every student starts to do what they want to do, including Shina. She could already bet that some people are coming to Ryouto and start to introduce themselves to become a friend. They laugh and giggle so much. Shina just sighs at the fact that there are many people next to her.

"Ne ne... Shitoga-san.. do you want to eat lunch with us?"

Ryouto looks at the boys and smiles brightly.

"Sure!"

Reina stands up to go eat her lunch, waiting Shina.

"Come on, Shina"

Shina stands up, looks at Reina signaling her 'let's go' with her head and starts to walks out the class with her. Little does she knows, Ryouto is staring at her all the time.

Shina and Reina sits on a bench next to football field. They eat peacefully while talking about things. Suddenly they see Ryouto walking with the others laughing and talking.

"Ne.. Shina are you sure you don't know him more than his name?"

Shina stops a bit then looks at Reina and then to where she's looking. Shina sighs and stops eating for a while.

"I told you already... I only know his name"

Reina sighs and closes her bento as well as Shina. They both pack their empty bento nicely and wrap it with a clothe. Then walks to side of the school to buy some soda or other drinks.

"Isn't that lucky? He'll thinks that you are his first friend and the closest person he knows!!"

"Hahah.. what a funny story"

Shina buys a strawberry milk while Reina buys a soda with lemon flavor.

"Come on! I'm serious you know!"

Shina drinks her milk and starts to walk away with Reina following her from behind. Reina talks about how Shina should go out with Ryouto and stuffs but she doesn't even bother to hear this friend of her.

When they passed the school garden, Shina feels something strange from there.

"Reina.. did you feel that?"

Reina stops for a while and looks at Shina with a confuse face.

"Feel what?"

"huh? Uh... never mind that"

Shina starts to walk again while thinking what was that while Reina still drinking her soda.

Ding dong ding dong...

The school ends and everyone starts to pack their own belongings while some others are in cleaning duty. Reina has to go home first because her mother asked her to take care of her little sister.

Shina is throwing the trashes outside. When she's about to head back to class, she suddenly feels the same feeling like before. She looks around only to find nothing but wind. She sighs a bit and starts to walk to her class.

After she's done with her things and says goodbye to her classmates she has duty with, she finally locks her class and walks to downstairs. When she's about to walk towards the school gate, she feels the same feeling again. She looks back and tries to find what is it. Because it makes her so curious and it bugs her so much, she decided to walks around the school to make sure it was just her imagination.

She walks to garden, the place where she feels it for the first time. She looks around nothing to see but flowers and leafs. She sighs again and she decides to go home. But when she's walking out from the garden, she sees someone walks in the garden. She thought everyone already went home except some janitors, but janitors won't be in garden at this hour. So she follows the person quietly so she won't be notices by the person.

Shina starts to peak and kind of surprise of what she sees.

"Shitoga-san?"
